Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were not the reason behind the economic crisis.
No - Bush and McCain repeatedly called for an investigation into Freddie and Fannie and were just as often called racists for doing so

No one person or group is completely responsible for the current U.S. economic crisis. A lot of the blame is shared by the various financial institutions that issued and traded risky financial instruments related to the nation's mortgage market. Blame can be placed on the country's legislators for lax legislation and oversight of these same financial institutions. Congress could also be blamed for not monitoring the activities of mortgage backers Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The failure of Congress and presidential administrations, past and present, to balance our federal budget also contributed to the crisis.
Yes, George W. Bush did warn about the potential risks posed by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. During his presidency, Bush repeatedly called for reforms and increased oversight of the two government-sponsored entities, raising concerns about their financial stability and the potential for a housing market downturn. Despite these warnings, however, the 2008 financial crisis was largely triggered by the collapse of these institutions.
